semi-colonies (7 countries)

2) Kiao-chow—0.5 and 192,000 + Tientsin—0.1 and 17,000

4) In British India in 1911 there were more than 100 ethnic groups; out of 313.3 million—74 per cent Aryan Indians.

3) Hübner includes Sinai in Asia, Thasos in Europe and does n o t regard Egypt as a “British possession”.St. puts Egypt as a British possession.

2) Data for 1881.

1) Hübner adds also “Thasos (to Egypt)”. I include it in Egypt, in Africa. (3) In Belgium, 43.4% spokeonlyFlemish and 38.1%onlyFrench. Ergo, approximately: 43.4% of 81.5=53.2% Flemings in the population.
